[[Bilbo Baggins]] inherited the home from his parents, [[Bungo Baggins|Bungo]] and [[Belladonna Took|Belladonna Baggins]], who built the smial in [[Third Age]] 2889. The Hobbit-hole is noted to have a green door with a round brass knob, all but countless rooms with round windows, and a garden. Although Hobbits are known to be of small stature, larger visitors were often seen, indicating that the ceilings were certainly taller than might be expected. The grounds and home were kept by the [[Gamge Family|Gamgee family]], most notably Hamfast ("[[The Gaffer]]") and later his son, [[Samwise Gamgee|Samwise]]. The beautiful hole was a point of contention between Bilbo and his relatives, the Sackville-Bagginses, who very much desired to own it.

Here, Bilbo lived a quiet existence until the wizard [[Gandalf]] appeared with thirteen [[Dwarves]] at the beginning of ''The Hobbit''. Upon his return, he discovered the contents of the smial being auctioned off, due to his presumed death. The Sackville-Bagginses were extremely disappointed and frustrated at his return, and their subsequent loss of Bag End.

The name can also be seen as a pun on "cul-de-sac" (literally "bottom of the bag").<ref name="Nomen">[[J.R.R.

In the books, it is supposedly a translation of the [[Westron]] ''[[Laban-neg]], [[Labin-nec]]'', which has much the same meaning, and the same relationship to the Westron form of Baggins: ''[[Labingi]]''.<ref name="PM">{{PM|Languages}}, p. 48</ref>

The Hall at Bag-End, the Residence of B. Baggins Esquire by J.R.R. Tolkien

"In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a Hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."

Bilbo Baggins inherited the home from his parents, Bungo and Belladonna Baggins, who built the smial in Third Age 2889. The Hobbit-hole is noted to have a green door with a round brass knob, all but countless rooms with round windows, and a garden. Although Hobbits are known to be of small stature, larger visitors were often seen, indicating that the ceilings were certainly taller than might be expected. The grounds and home were kept by the Gamgee family, most notably Hamfast ("The Gaffer") and later his son, Samwise. The beautiful hole was a point of contention between Bilbo and his relatives, the Sackville-Bagginses, who very much desired to own it.

Here, Bilbo lived a quiet existence until the wizard Gandalf appeared with thirteen Dwarves at the beginning of The Hobbit. Upon his return, he discovered the contents of the smial being auctioned off, due to his presumed death. The Sackville-Bagginses were extremely disappointed and frustrated at his return, and their subsequent loss of Bag End.

In 2989, the eccentric Bilbo adopted his cousin (and nephew) Frodo as his heir. Frodo became the Master of Bag End on their mutual birthday, at the age of 33, when Bilbo, then 111 years old, left to live with the Elves at Rivendell. Frodo remained content at Bag End until Gandalf returned and confirmed that Bilbo's ring was actually the One Ring. Preperations for departure ensued, with Frodo selling Bag End to the Sackville-Bagginses and removing to Crickhollow, before beginning the quest to destroy the ring.

Frodo resumed living in Bag End and was joined by Sam, upon his marriage to Rose Cotton. However, with wounds too deep to heal, in 3021 he named Sam his heir, and departed across the sea. Bag End remained in the Gamgee family (later known as the Gardners) for at least three generations following Sam.
